V5

[Intro] [The sound of wind rushing at 200 mph, suddenly cut to dead silence] [A high-frequency pitch that makes the speakers vibrate] "I don't need a name in lights... I own the dark between the heights." [Verse 1] Jet black hair like a mourning veil Talons click on the rooftop rail Green eyes scanning the thermal heat I feel your pulse beneath my feet Hawks is flashy, Hawks is gold But I’m the secret the heavens hold Stay out of my sector, stay out of my sky I’m the last thing you’ll see before you die. [Pre-Chorus] [Low, rhythmic humming that sounds like a swarm of birds taking flight] The scouts are watching, the crows agree There’s no escape from my frequency Territorial? Yeah, that’s a fact Once I nest, I don’t look back. [Chorus] [THE IMPACT: Heavy industrial bass drop] [a piercing avian screech] APEX SILENCE! Dropping from the sun in a lethal dive You won't hear a sound till I arrive Black and green wings, shadow on the street The world is quiet when we meet Keen Resonance, shatter the glass The falcon’s here... let the shadow pass. [Bridge] [The music slows to a soft, heartbeat-like thump] [vocal becomes a soft, protective whisper] "You fell out of the sky... " "I caught you." "Don't look at the cameras, Red." "Just look at me." [A soft chirping resonance] [Outro] [The high-frequency screech returns, but it’s melodic this time] My bird. My sky. Loyal 'til the day I die. [Wind gust sound, then total silence]
